Karen Bartleson and Frederick Mintzer cover a variety of topics in videotaped interviews. In these videos, they discussed which emerging areas they believe IEEE should devote more time and resources to, and why they should receive members’ votes.

The annual election ballots will be mailed to all eligible voting members via first class postal mail on 17 August.
